Full Description

This informative Handbook evaluates how labour mobility in different forms can help us understand processes of uneven regional development. It examines the motivations and restrictions of labour mobility, including how its patterns can influence firm performance, innovative capacity and long-term regional development.
Expert authors explore labour mobility across the globe, including perspectives from workers, firms and regions in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. They provide insights into how knowledge embodied in labour travels across space as well as the social drivers of labour, highlighting how these trends can inform political action and identifying the consequences of mobility for different groups of workers. This comprehensive overview covers experiences at regional, national and global levels, analysing how technological advances will impact the future of labour mobility.

The Handbook of Labour Mobility is a crucial resource for scholars and students of labour studies, human geography, sociology and economics and finance. Its focus on the social and economic impacts of labour mobility makes this an essential reference for employers and policymakers in regional development.
